Stamford police are investigating the death of a 21 year old man found dead in a second story bedroom of 11 Soundview Avenue.

Police will await the results of an autopsy by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Farmington, which they expect to be done within two days, to determine the cause of death, Lupinacci said.

"We won't know what we have until then," Lupinacci said.

Neighbors in the house called 911 around 1 p.m. after finding the man in bed not breathing, Lupinacci said. Stamford emergency medical technicians arrived and made extensive and unsuccessful attempts to revive him, Lupinacci said.

The man was last seen alive around 7:30 a.m. Sunday, Lupinacci said.

Around 3:20 p.m. the department's Crime Identification Unit truck which gathers fingerprint, photographs and other forensic evidence at crime scenes arrived. On Soundview Avenue police photographed and searched the contents of a black Volkswagen Golf parked adjacent to the house that is believed to be the dead man's car, Lt. Diedrich Hohn of the Criminal Investigations Unit said.

"There doesn't appear to be anything suspicious at this time," Hohn said of the car.
